Well, as if robots taking over your doctors and construction workers weren’t enough, you might soon be entering DHL and Fedex stores only to be greeted by the plastic grin of a robot sorting your mail. You think that’s funny? Well, if Yaskawa has its way, it won’t be. The Yaskawa Motoman DIA10 can sort a supposedly impressive 1000 pieces of mail in under one hour. Time effective, huh? They say, it’s meant to provide backup for your mail-workers, but think about it, would a company , really care about backup, if it got a robot that could do almost 10 people’s work almost 10 times faster? I don’t think so. You and I might become the backups for robots some day, coz it looks like they’re hell bent on doing anything you and me could. (NiRa)
